BANGALORE: EMC Corporation has announced a wide range of major new

enhancements to EMC ControlCenter, Navisphere, EMC MirrorView and EMC SnapView

software platforms all of which are registered trademark products of the

company. The technology advances are targeted directly at information

consolidation and information protection.

"Through the AutoIS strategy and resulting software innovations, EMC

continues to help customers clear the high hurdles of information consolidation

and protection," said, EMC's executive vice president, Storage Platforms

Operations, David Donatelli. "The announcements incorporate advanced

CLARiiON enterprise storage technology to address these very real business needs

while sharply reducing total cost of ownership for customers' information

resources."

The new software will be available in 30 days and extends the EMC CLARiiON

enterprise storage system's position as a platform for continuous innovation.

Included are: EMC ControlCenter Navisphere software - a new Navisphere v.6.0

Web-enabled interface helps customers drive down management costs through the

secure and remote management of CLARiiON systems from a standard Internet

connection -anywhere in the world. Elimination of a required management station

results in further cost savings and improved availability.

Additional Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology, user

classification, identification and authorization features provide unparalleled

security for network-based storage management. EMC MirrorView software provides

synchronous data mirroring between geographically separated CLARiiON FC4700

systems for disaster recovery and business continuance. New enhancements now

enable CLARiiON to use the same port for host application traffic and MirrorView

remote mirroring traffic.

Disaster Recovery Consolidation is a single CLARiiON system capable of

serving as a consolidated business continuity target for up to four source

CLARiiON systems. Customers can now perform consolidated backups, simplified

failover, consolidated remote processing activities, and remote bunkering from a

single CLARiiON system.

EMC SnapView software enables production applications to remain online while

logical point-in-time SnapView "snapshots" are created

non-disruptively for backups and parallel processing activities. The new

SnapView v.1.3 now supports creation of up to eight active snapshots per

CLARiiON FC4700 logical unit (LUN). This advancement enables customers to

perform multiple simultaneous processes - such as backups, decision support

queries, and data warehouse refreshes -- against the same data, at the same

time, resulting in greatly improved operational efficiencies.
